What is the meaning of capitalized terms not defined in the Embassy Suites By Hilton Guaranty?

According to the 2025 Embassy Suites By Hilton Franchise Disclosure Document, capitalized terms not specifically defined within an addendum to the franchise agreement will carry the meanings as defined in the main franchise agreement. This is according to Item 22, which covers contracts related to the franchise.

This means that when reviewing the Embassy Suites By Hilton franchise agreement and any addenda, franchisees must refer back to the original agreement for clarification of any capitalized terms that are not explicitly defined in the addendum itself. This ensures consistency and avoids misinterpretations of the terms and conditions outlined in the franchise documents.

This clause is a standard legal practice to maintain clarity and enforceability of the contract. Prospective Embassy Suites By Hilton franchisees should carefully review the definitions in the main franchise agreement to fully understand their rights and obligations. It is advisable to seek legal counsel to clarify any ambiguities or concerns regarding the terms and conditions outlined in both the franchise agreement and its addenda.
